Try on improving Bees from Beeeefore

[ClaudioG]

Ok..so ..my images we're overexposed before..hope these are better..as usual..i'd like to thank...John Lennon and Paul McCartney, oh..and Graham, David "the Turk" , Mr Letrow and Mark "My China from SA". cos..well..basically...I get by with a little help from my friends.. LOL Corny i know!!!! hahaha!!!

#2 and #3 are obviously same image..could you let me know which crop you prefer?...and why ?
PP is also a little different on the 2 images

#1


#2


#3

Hi Claudio,#1 and #3 have slight shadow clipping,just slight but that dose not bother me,but the big white bit top right in #1 is a prob though,overall your p/p is better, but for me,they are still a tad over saturated,on the previous one's i turned down the vibrance like you said. As for your crop pref,i like both but when i have posted an image like #2 on a macro thread i was told nice image but would be better like #3 I think it has to come down to self preference at the end of the day Defo great images though

[ClaudioG]

I agree..theres jus toooo much colour..and yes #1 witht he white in corner is just a bother..more a throw away..will try ton down the sturation a bit.,..thanks David! Agreed on crop... in the end its on preference.

No! don't throw away #1 just because of that white thingimagig at the corner -- just clone it out, nicely, as Manfred would say... I love the pose of the bee there...I kinda prefer #2 than #3 when it comes to cropping. They both all nice shots...

Hi Claudio,i agree with Isabel,try cloning be a bit hit and miss but its defo a keeper

A crop plus a little bit of selective brightness toning down would save #1.

With the others, I frequently do similar crops to this. One nice looking overall shot which shows the background (identifying the flower can sometimes be useful) then a much closer crop for identification purposes.
